that is a 9 mm bullet hole with no exit wound in the hat, from an angle as if the wearer were executed while on their knees. thanks a lot benny... letting the rain up here rust the studs naturally. may pickle them to etch it a bit and get the rust going quicker. based the idea on Dave Lister's hat from Red dwarf initially and it sort of grew on its own.

ever seen how blood "STAINS" black leather? It really doesn't. I have worn and actually bled on black leather all of my life and blood doesn't show up well. I also live in the northwest, it rains here all the time so blood rinses away quickly. but seriously, blood doesn't stain black leather. It is known.
